Schoenheitz Linsenberg Riesling 2007, Ac Alsace
Alsace, France$17.95
Pale yellow/green tinge. Aromas of pear, citrus, yeasty at first - faded, some mineral. Hint of residual sugar, some bitterness on the pallete, medium weight and medium length finish. Okay but unremarkable. Tasted alone, perhaps with food would perk it up a little. Feb 2011.

Cave De Saumur Cuvée Signee Chinon 2008, Ac
